The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing
antidumping duty order on certain orange juice from Brazil would not be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

As a result of the Commission's negative determination, the existing order on imports of this
product from Brazil will be revoked.

All six Commissioners voted in the negative.

Today's action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on this five-year (sunset) review.

The Commission's public report Certain Orange Juice from Brazil (Inv. No. 731-TA-1089 (Review),
USITC Publication 4311, April 2012) will contain the views of the Commission and information
developed during the review.

BACKGROUND

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an
antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years
unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or
terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably
foreseeable time.

The Commission's institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file
responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review
as well as other information. Generally within 95 days from institution, the Commission will
determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest
in a full review. If responses to the USITC's notice of institution are adequate, or if other
circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a
public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.

The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in
expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the
facts available, including the Commission's prior injury and review determinations, responses
received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the review, and
information provided by the Department of Commerce.

The five-year (sunset) review concerning Certain Orange Juice from Brazil was instituted on February 1,
2011.

On May 9, 2011, the Commission voted to conduct a full review. All six Commissioners
determined that both the domestic group response and the respondent group responses were
adequate and voted for a full review.

A record of the Commission's vote to conduct a full review is available from the Office of the
Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436.
